I bought this device to attempt to re profile a poorly ground edge on a knife. I knew that the carbide inserts on this sharpener would remove a lot of metal quickly and leave me with a edge profile that should be suitable for further sharpening.

the tool is very stable in use and the carbide removes small slivers of steel when you put firm pressure on the blade. However the edge you end up with is pretty ragged. You'll ruin a good edge that just needs a touch up with this device.

I've since used it on an hatchet, a machete and shears with good results.

Was a good value for the money and did what I expected it to

One of the four screws holding the body together fell off right out of the box. I tried screwing it in, but it fell right back out again. I think the plastic hole is either too large or stripped. Fit and finish are poor. I'm going to exchange for another and give it a chance. Appears to sharpen OK, but haven't given it a thorough chance. I usually use either a diamond sharpener for high quality knives, or files for garden tools. Wanted to try this on axes, pruners, lawn mower blade, etc. Will recommend because it's cheap, but I need to try it more to really see if it's worth it.

I have successfully sharpened knives,scissors,cuticle clippers,box cutters,nail clippers.Better to use lighter pressure and more repetitions,it will sharpen almost anything if you have enough time.It is made so anyone can sharpen things.

I used this to work on my good quality kitchen knives which hadn't been correctly sharpened in several years. It worked very well and I'm very pleased with the purchase! I also used it on pruning shears and it definitely helped them also.I have lots of other items to try them on so now I can get busy with this simple, easy to use item- Thanks so much for carrying this, HF!!
